The last sentence probably sums it up pretty well.   Besides he's  
making a fortune off a priest in California, whom we understand  
inherited a bundle from a deceased brother, and a real estate broker  
in Colorado or Wyoming who bids under the name of Echo Canyon Ranch.   
I bid on some old Pottstown negatives and lost the best ones to Echo  
Canyon and I had bid as high as $500 on them!  I wanted to eventually  
put them in the PTM library.   Those two guys will bid over $1000 for  
a single color slide.   In some weeks I think Joe has made more than  
$3 or $4 thousand dollars just off those two men in addition to his  
wages as a bus driver.   Joe told me, at the East Penn meet at Villa- 
two weeks ago, that it simply wasn't cost effective to drive from  
Merrick, Long Island to Philadelphia for a show compared to selling  
on eBay.   But it was nice being there to meet all our old friends.
